Republica Literaria [y] Empresa Politica I-CI

Amberes: Iuan Bautista Verdussen, 1678. Hardcover.

Good text, with dampstaining, the Table page of Republica Literaria and last page of text have wear, pp. 370-378 have some lining to the outer margins, and flipping through the book there are probably a handful of other pages similarly lined.
